it's a minor famous-ish person who was in my year at secondary school. most of you will have seen them at some point, maybe much more than you realised. it's not the easiest guess who ever but if you ask the right questions you should be able to work it out.

i've got 30minutes until the girlfriend is home for work, i really hope someone can get this before then!

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/c4s-30-greatest-comedy-shows/articles/all/the-result

Tighty,

We gave up/got bored days ago

74. no

75. yes. but you are doing MUCH better than they did

i suspected so, hence it comes on here

pop back and save us a few hours by putting up what else you have found out about mystery man who isn't in a channel four comedy thats very popular please

do you have a bottle of it on your desk?

lol no

HONESTLY MPST OF YOU WILL HAVE SEEN THIS GUY IN MORE THAN ONE PROGRAMME


some clues.

he had  along standing role as a child actor
he has also been in films.
he has costarred in a sitcom that got one series on itv with someone more famous who's show has been mentioned in this thread already
he is from the southeast

is the show listed on this page (including having hit on the show more untill there is no more)

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/categories/comedy

GNF got no further useful info than you have here already other than ruling out a few individuals

76. no.
strangely they dont have the show that i (and wikipedia) think he is most famous for...
weirdly, at first glance i saw at least 2 shows on there that he is in, one as a main character that is probably his second most famous show and one very famous show that he does a small role on.

the most famous show is availavble in its entirety on 4oD though despite not being obviously in that list

i take it back, it is in that list, just not where i expected it to be alphabetically

Does the person wear socks?

Would we know his name or just 'he's that bloke from that programme'?

was he in a childrens tv show as a child actor?

Kevin Bishop?

some will some wont obvs
if you know the programme i think you will know his name

Greg McHugh?

BINGO

of

grange hill
muppets treasure island and a load of other artsy films
star stories
the kevin bishop show
FM on itv with chris o dowd (underrated)

and all this too : http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0084107/

thank christ for that

(http://replygif.net/i/137.gif)

Thank christ indeed

Who?

never ever heard of him

you will now be banned

Kevin Bishop

ffs i was going to say grange hill too

Ban OP please mods :)

come on, you all saw star stories. the one as tom cruise was awesome.

heres the george michael one
http://www.channel4.com/programmes/star-stories/4od#3107450

FM is one no -one has seen but features chris o dowd and is underrated imo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHwYNipWNAo

nope i can honestly say i aint seen star stories or many of the shows listed that he has apeared in numerous times

nope, never heard of it

thats not a criticism of you though much like your RSQ you are assuming specialist knowledge to be generally known!

i said in the OP it was a tough one...

whatevs, you got there in the end. only took hours. GNF took 2 weeks to get half as far, so pat on the back

Seriously was fun. Forgot about Star Stories :)

Who was the woman co star then? was it in a different series?

some of his wiki'ed up femaile costars
u will recognise the first one from my RSQ, the second as amy pond in doctor who, and the third as the bigger lass off bridesmaids

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophelia_Lovibond (FM)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_Gillan (the kevin bishop show)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebel_Wilson   (super fun night)

I knew he was by name and from memory, and I've never seen a single show of his, so he is (small time) famous IMO.

Wtf?

Wilbanrobu. My head hurts.

only other one i had was terry nutkins.

tbf, I've heard of him and would probably even recognise him in the street (might take me a while to place him though).

Same.

This

Was this whole thread just a Girlfriend brag?

ffs i missed that now i understand the thread

Never heard of him.

Glad it's over though. 

Brilliant Iron.

;applause;

Yeah I heard of him.
Very frustrating but enjoyable thread though

And then you'd have a flash of recall and remember him as the guy who works on the fish counter at Sainsbury :)
